DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3218 is a low-noise, high-current charge pump
DC/DC converter capable of driving high current LEDs at up
to 400mA from a 2.9V to 4.5V input. A low external parts
count (one flying capacitor, two programming resistors and
two bypass capacitors at V
IN
and CPO) make the LTC3218
ideally suited for small, battery-powered applications.
Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush cur-
rent during start-up. High switching frequency enables the
use of small external capacitors. A built-in 2-second timer
protects the LED during flash mode.
Output current level is programmed by an external re-
sistor. LED current is regulated using an internal high
side 220mΩ sense resistor. Automatic mode switching
optimizes efficiency by monitoring the voltage across the
charge pump and switching modes only when dropout
is detected. The part is available in a low profile 3mm

2mm 10-lead DFN package.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
Based on long-term current density limitations. Assumes an
operating duty cycle of ≤ 10% under Absolute Maximum Conditions
for durations less than 10 seconds. Maximum current for continuous
operation is 150mA.
Note 3:
The LTC3218E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C ambient
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.

PIN FUNCTIONS
CP CM (Pin 1, Pin 9):
Charge Pump Flying Capacitor. A
,
2.2μF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor should be connected
from CP to CM.
CPO (Pin 2):
Output of the Charge Pump. This pin may
be enabled or disabled using the ENT and ENF inputs.
A 4.7μF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor is required from
CPO to GND.
I
LED
(Pin 3):
LED Current Output. The LED is connected
between I
LED
(anode) and GND (cathode). The current
out of the I
LED
pin is set by resistors connected to the
I
SETT
and I
SETF
pins. An internal, 220mΩ sense resistor
is connected between CPO and I
LED
ENT (Pin 4):
Input. The ENT pin is used to enable the
part into torch mode and bring it into shutdown mode.
An internal 250kΩ resistor pulls this pin to GND when
left floating.
I
SETT
(Pin 5):
LED Torch Current Programming Resistor.
A resistor connected between this pin and GND is used
to set the LED torch current level.
I
SETF
(Pin 6):
LED Flash Current Programming Resistor.
A resistor connected between this pin and GND is used
to set the LED flash current level.
ENF (Pin 7):
Input. The ENF pin is used to enable the
part into flash mode and bring it into shutdown mode.
An internal 250kΩ resistor pulls this pin to GND when
left floating. A safety timer will disable the part if this pin
is held high for more than 2 seconds.
GND (Pin 8):
Ground. This pin should be connected directly
to a low impedance ground plane.
V
IN
(Pin 10):
Power. Supply voltage for the LTC3218. V
IN
should be bypassed with a low impedance ceramic capaci-
tor to GND of at least 1.6μF of capacitance.
Exposed Pad (Pin 11):
Ground. This pad must be soldered
to a low impedance ground plane for optimum thermal
performance.
